Many, many times. Try to come down here on the 1st or 3rd Thursday of the month, we have a killer "cruise night" that is a lot of fun. PM me if you'd like more details.

The auto in S mode is good enough for me. Your call though; stick might get to be a pain if you're doing mostly city driving.

i do mostly city driving and have a manual. Love every minute of it.

If I could change one thing about my car, it's that I would have gotten a manual!

scottc · 07-19-2011, 03:37 PM

It comes w/a auto option ? lol! 6 sp man all the way, much more fun to me but your driving the car so think about how much time in city traffic and make your choice.

If I could do it again I would have gotten a manuel!

So they make Mexican transmissions now?

Manual is great. You're the one in charge of the driving then. The clutch on the V6 is fairly light, so makes town driving fairly painless. Although I could see it being a bit tedious if you're doing say 10 miles into a city's stop/ start traffic every day, and then again outwards. All I can say is, I've owned 17 cars, 2 of which were autos, and I'd never go back to another.
